Goole Town Deal: Latest news from the board

The next stage of the Goole Town Deal process is underway now the £25 million outline offer from the Ministry for Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has been accepted. The Goole deal is £3.7 million less than requested across the portfolio of ten projects, leaving the Goole Town Deal Board and East Riding of Yorkshire Council (as the Accountable Body for the funding) until 31 August to consider and conclude three options:

1. Secure additional funding from other sources to meet the shortfall. 2. Eliminate projects following a review and re-prioritisation process. 3. Review and reprioritise the Town Deal funding allocations across all ten of the projects. Joseph Richardson, chair of the Goole Town Deal Board, explained: “A review of the Leeds to Goole rail project and the digital infrastructure project were the first considerations, to assess the delivery risks attached to the rail project, and options for alternate Government funding for the digital infrastructure project. The rail project has strong support from neighbouring authorities including Wakefield Council and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. The Board agreed to continue

being the catalyst for seeking the introduction of this more frequent rail service but with a reduced Town Deal funding allocation. Similarly, digital infrastructure for Old Goole continues to be considered as high importance, should alternative central funding become available, then the Town Deal allocation would not be required”. Councillor Jane Evison, board member and portfolio holder for economic development and tourism at the council, said: “The board agreed that all ten projects outlined in the Town Investment Plan fit together to form a much needed and comprehensive package of interventions to uplift Goole town centre and ignite new investments and the economic reinvention process. As a result, I am pleased to confirm that the Goole Town Deal Board agreed to make small funding adjustments across the project portfolio, and this was confirmed to MHCLG on 31 August 2021. We expect to know within two months if this has been approved.” In the meantime, work will now begin on each project’s full treasury green book business case and all business cases must be completed by June 2022. The Town Deal funding will end in March 2026 – Goole’s bicentenary year. The business case stage follows Government guidance covering five essential categories: strategic, economic, commercial, financial and management. Work will include rigorous analysis of quality data, value

for money assessments, an economic rationale justifying the use of public funds, clearly defined inputs, activities, outputs and anticipated outcomes with appropriate consideration of deliverability, risk and appropriate mitigating action for all ten projects. The business case stage will include wider public engagement and consultation with details soon to be announced. The Board are keen to see some projects start in 2022 signalling the real start of delivering the Goole Town Deal and benefits for the town’s residents and town centre business communities. Goole Market Hall, Victoria Pleasure Ground and Goole Leisure Centre are flagship anchor destination projects for the town centre, whilst the Station Hub is a strategic arrival point for Goole’s two-way connectivity aspirations. The Public Realm programme is a priority uplift project and will aim to improve the overall sense of place and highlight the town’s distinct identity as a working port and a community of 20,000+ residents. The Property Activation Fund is a means to bring back into use multiple properties and engage with private sector owners. Full details on each of the projects are outlined in the Investment Plan available on the Goole Town Deal website but as a reminder they are: l Goole Market Hall Reinvention l Town Centre Public Realm Programme l Property Activation Fund to support town centre buildings reanimation Continued on Page 6

Literature

Non-Fiction for October Misfits: A Personal Manifesto by Michaela Coel From the brilliant mind of the creator and star of I May Destroy You and Chewing Gum comes this passionate declaration against fitting in. Michaela Coel’s MacTaggart Lecture touched a lot of people with her striking revelations about race, class and gender. But in the end, the person most impacted was Coel herself. Building on this speech, Misfits immerses readers in her vision through powerful allegory and anecdote – from her East London upbringing to her discovery of theatre and love for storytelling. With inspiring insight and wit, she tells of her reckoning with trauma and metamorphosis into a champion for herself, inclusivity and radical honesty, and in telling her journey invites us to reflect on our own.

Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain by Amy Jeffs Storyland is a new illustrated mythology of Britain, set in its wildest landscapes. Told with narrative flair, readers will visit beautiful, sacred places that include prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge and Wayland’s Smithy, spanning the length of Britain from the archipelago of Orkney to as far south as Cornwall; mountains and lakes such as Snowdon and Loch Etive and rivers including the Ness, the Soar and the story-silted Thames in a vivid, beautiful tale of our land steeped in myth. In Storyland, Jeffs reimagines these myths of homeland, exile and migration, kinship, loyalty, betrayal, love and loss in a landscape brimming with wonder. A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of Virginia Hall, WWII’s Most Dangerous Spy by Sonia Purnell In September 1941, a young American woman strides up the steps of a hotel in Lyon, Vichy France. Her papers say she is a journalist. Her wooden leg is disguised by a determined gait and a distracting beauty. She is there to spark the resistance. By 1942, Virginia Hall was the Gestapo’s most urgent target, having infiltrated

Please mention

Vichy command, trained civilians in guerrilla warfare and sprung soldiers from Nazi prison camps. The first woman to go undercover for British SOE, her intelligence changed the course of the war – but her fight was still not over. This is a spy history like no other, telling the story of the hunting accident that disabled her, the discrimination she fought and the secret life that helped her triumph over adversity.. The Haunting of Alma Fielding by Kate Summerscale London, 1938. Alma Fielding, an ordinary young woman, begins to experience supernatural events in her suburban home. Nandor Fodor – a Jewish-Hungarian refugee and chief ghost hunter for the International Institute for Psychical research – begins to investigate. In doing so he discovers a different and darker type of haunting: trauma, alienation, loss – and the foreshadowing of a nation’s worst fears. As the spectre of fascism lengthens over Europe, and as Fodor’s obsession with the case deepens, Alma becomes ever more disturbed. With daring and insight, the award-winning pioneer of historical narrative non-fiction, Kate Summerscale, follows Fodor’s enquiry, delving into long-hidden archives to find the story behind a very modern haunting. Mantel Pieces by Hilary Mantel This collection from twice Booker Prize winner and international bestseller Hilary Mantel comprises 20 reviews, essays and pieces of memoir. Her subjects range far and wide: Saudi Arabia where she lived for four years in the 1980s, the Bulger case, the Virgin Mary, pop icon Madonna, and Helen Duncan, Britain’s last witch. Plus, there are essays about Jane Boleyn, Christopher Marlowe and Margaret Pole, which show her insight into the Tudors – manifested in the bestselling Wolf Hall trilogy. Elsewhere, her famous lecture, ‘Royal Bodies’ – which caused a media frenzy – explores the place of royal women in society and our imagination. Illuminating and often very funny, this is a mustread from one of the UK’s greatest living writers.

Gardening

Help wildlife through autumn and winter

With the last thrust of summer heat over in the blink of an eye,we’re back to average temperatures for the time of year coolish, lowlight and a distinct autumnal feel. I always think of autumn as a feeling as much as it is a season. Much the same way you noticeably, tangibly feel a touch of spring in the air from February, September feels melancholy and ‘back to schoollike’ preparing you, perhaps, for the long, cold winter ahead.

Our animals instinctively feel it too, andmany are bracing themselves, laying the groundwork for the coming months.With fleeting summer bird visitors gone to warmer climes, residents that stick around such as blue tits and robins are quieter, less active and prefer the warmth of a roosting spot. Bees are few and far between and butterflies are thinning out less nectar and pollen from waning flowers contributes to this. Our animals will just get on with it, of course, preparing for the season, but there are a few things we can do this month to help themout a little. Firstly, we can adopt amore natural approach to our tidying up. Choose only the wet, floppy, saggy stems to clear away; stiff, stately seed heads such as teasels, phlomis, thistles and sunflowers can stay as food and shelter for birds and insects. Don’t be too hasty to chop

Please mention

back gone over roses, as the hips are excellent food formice and birds. It is time, however, to see to your mini meadow. If you created one this year you can cut it back now (always leave a little section as animal shelter) to reduce the chance of the grass taking over. The seeds will have dropped from your wildflowers, ready to bounce back next spring. It’s the ideal time, as the soil is warmandmoist, to plant some choice herbaceous perennials to enjoy next year plus you can create a new little pollinator garden on the cheap by sowing poppies, cornflowers and corn marigolds together in a vibrant spectrumof red, blue and yellow. Don’t forget your spring bulbs, too. Now fledglings have flown their nests, you can clean out bird boxes without fear of disturbing them. This is good for hygiene, but actuallymany smaller birds will use clean nest boxes as roosts on cold nights. Line it with dried grass ormoss for extra cosiness. Lay

out some wood, stone and rock piles in corners now these will provide habitat for so many different animals when they need it most. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, leave some food and ater out for hedgehogs, such as kitten biscuits or a special hedgehog food from a bird food supplier. Autumn juveniles, out and about, will need all the sustenance they can get to get them through winter.

Keep an eye out for... Earthworms

Moisture brings them out in autumn; wormcasts (small mud piles) on lawns are common now.

Enjoy your fungi

Don’t be alarmed at mushrooms on your lawn – this is simply the time of their fruiting.

PLANT SPRING BEDDING

Find It In DNfourteen Magazine

Give plants enough time to have established by winter. There’s always a balance to be met when it comes to the changeover from summer bedding to spring flowers. We want our summer flowers to last as long as possible but if we leave planting until too late the new plants won’t be established by winter. When the summer plants are starting to look scruffy it’s often best to remove them and replant. When you look closely you may find that the flowers are covering lots of weeds, especially annuals like chickweed, and these will have seeded. It pays to leave the beds empty for a few days, to let weed seeds germinate and to eradicate slugs and pests. These have been living contentedly among the flowers, doing li le visible damage. But when the plants are removed and young seedlings planted, they’ll rapidly eat through your new plants!

It’s wise to prepare the soil well and put back some of the nutrients used during summer. Add grit to heavy soils and some organic ma tter. Add slow-acting fertiliser, such as fish, blood and bone, to give a boost to growth, but don’t expect much new growth after late October when frosts slow it down. Avoid planting the same plants every year. The range of spring bedding is smaller than for summer, but pansies and violas can fail if planted in the same bed each time. Lime the soil if planting wallflowers, to discourage clubroot.

Antiques

How to get started buying and selling antiques and collectables.

Rob My first venture into the collectors’ market was with my son Colin. He was a huge Doctor Who fan; and we visited Sci-Fi fairs so decided to book a stall and sell his excess items. We were very successful and made a small fortune. Following on from this initial triumph we looked to do more events and looked at other Sci-Fi toys and collectables. Again, this was successful, and it carried on for a few years until Colin left school, found a job, and discovered beer and women. I was left to sell the left-over items at toy fairs, but I am not a Sci-Fi geek so did not get as much enjoyment out of it as I had been doing. I then started to look at antiques and jewellery rather than toys. I did have a little knowledge on the items I bought, mainly from TV programmes and ‘Millers’ guides. I found talking to the dealers, visiting auctions and car-boots etc time well spent.

Please mention

This was mainly done at the weekend as I was still in fulltime employment. When I left work, about ten years ago now, I had all the time in the world to look for antiques and sell at local fairs. I look for what is now called ‘Mantiques’, which covers anything from militaria, advertising, jewellery, sporting, the ‘quirky’ – the list is endless. The question is, ‘Do I make a living out of it?’ The answer is, ‘Yes’. However, I get more enjoyment out of collecting for myself and the buying/selling experience; plus, the looking for the elusive million pound item. Collecting is about memories, not the value – that is where the enjoyment is. Janette Feeling restless at the start of the school summer holiday, I was a teacher in a former life, I was looking for something to interest me that was as far away from education as possible. My son was at the age when he did not want to (and would not) spend every day with his mum, so my quest for a new hobby began. I had always enjoyed visiting museums, art galleries and antique centres. I went through my house top to bottom sorting unwanted items into three categories – car-boot, charity shop and possible collectables. I purchased some books online about car-booting, collectables and antiques. I then booked

a ‘table’ at a Collectors’ Fair for the beginning of September. A couple of successful car-boot sales and a withdrawal of £300 from my hard-earned savings gave me my initial funding. I spent the rest of the school summer holiday shopping for stock – antique centres, charity shops, car-boots and a couple of auctions. Everything I bought I researched online or in my newly purchased books. I cleaned, priced, and wrapped up my items ready for the fair. Sale day arrived. From my initial £300 plus the money I had made from the carbooting, I had purchased stock, an additional folding table that you can use at a fair and paid my table cost. I sold one item on that Sunday in September 2013 – a Royal Doulton figurine. I think I made a profit of £5 on the item. I certainly did not make enough to pay for all the ‘work’ I had done, or the cost of the latte I needed to see me through the day. However, I earned a lot more. I talked to fellow traders and buyers, I laughed, and I learned a great deal. My enthusiasm never waived – in fact, it grew. I left that fair ‘buzzing’. I do not make a living out of my hobby, but I do now make

R and J’s Top Tips

l Go to auctions. Buy a catalogue, watch and listen, write down the hammer prices. When you get home, research why some items cost a great deal more than the estimate and why some items did not sell. Be brave and buy a ‘job lot’ and then research these items – date, name and possible value. l Pick a specialism – you do not have to stick to this forever but it will get your knowledge started. Rob started with

To contact

Sci-Fi memorabilia and Janette started with ceramics (I can spot a piece of Moorcroft from 100 paces). l Think about the profit margins. You can buy an item for £2 and sell for £4, making a 100% profit. Then again, you can buy for £50 and sell for £55, making a profit of 10%. l Learn what is ‘on trend’. You can do this by looking what is selling well at fairs and at auctions, reading older antique books and by talking to other dealers. l Invest in a jewellers’ loup (eye glass) and, if you are going to trade in gold and silver, buy a set of scales for weighing precious metals.

Meet a friend, go for a cup of tea and a cake, and/or be ‘a lady (or gentleman) that lunches’. You may go home with nothing, but you have had a really enjoyable day.

l Think about the size and weight of the items you are buying. You have to get them to a fair and they have to fit in your allotted space. l When buying at car-boot sales, take a ruck sack or trolley, and take bubble wrap to keep your cherished items safe. l To begin with, buy items you like. If you appreciate it, someone else probably will. After some time, you will get to know your market and will buy things that you know will sell even if you do not love the item yourself.

l Make a day out of buying.

Gardening

September gardening September is a busy time in the garden. Things can quickly change from summer to the onset of winter, so if you are organised you can really get on top of jobs now to save time and work next spring and to prevent having to work in colder, harsher conditions. The Cutting Garden

Sowing & growing l Plant out and transplant biennials. l Divide and replant perennials to ease any

congested areas. Later in the month bring tender perennials, such as pelargoniums, inside to protect from the frosts. l Continue sowing hardy annuals for early flowering next year – you’ll get bigger, better plants which can flower a good six weeks earlier than those spring sown. For example, briza, bupleurum, calendula, centaurea, Papaver rhoeas, Papaver somniferum, and scabious can all be direct sown now. l Clear your annuals as they go over and add them to the compost heap. l Sow a pack of Viola ‘Heartsease’ to flower in about eight weeks’ time, right through winter. l It’s urgent to get wallflowers in place now. These spring-flowering biennials need to get their roots down well before flowering. l Sow yellow rattle. This is key to the success of any wild flower patch as it reduces the vigour of certain grasses.

Bulbs & tubers l Now is a good time to start planting your spring

bulbs – the ground will still be nice and warm from the summer months, and it gives plenty of time for the new roots to bed in before the spring sunshine arrives. l Inside, have a go at forcing some hyacinths or amaryllis now for colour over the festive season. l Plant pots of smaller bulbs such as muscari, iris, crocus, chionodoxa, scilla and anemones. Keep watered during the winter if we have any dry spells (but lift off the ground to prevent waterlogging which is just as bad) to provide pots full of colour for the spring.

l Plant small bulbs in to your lawn. Think of jazzing

up an area of lawn or rough grass with crocuses such as C. tommasinianus, C. vernus and C. chrysanthus hybrids. All are happy in thick turf with the sun fully on them.

Harvesting

Lovely things to pick and arrange from your garden in September: l Bulbs: gladioli and acidanthera l Hardy annuals: Euphorbia oblongata, sunflowers and scabious l Half-hardy annuals and dahlias: all l Perennials: Euphorbia ceratocarpa, salvias, heleniums, phlox, echinacea, rudbeckias l Shrubs and trees: hydrangeas, Viburnum opulus, berries and leaves. l Pick a large bunch of late-flowering phlox, such as the pure white ‘Mount Fuji’. It thrives in sun and shade. l Pick hydrangeas before they are damaged by wind and rain. l Pick a last bunch of roses before they brown.

Perennials, Shrubs & Trees

Pruning & tidying l Keep deadheading and weeding. l Collect seed from perennials and annuals and store them somewhere cool and dry.

l Deadhead dahlias. l Pinch out the tips of wallflowers to promote bushier growth.

l Early chrysanths are a must in the garden, and will give you a decent few weeks of bloom before the worst of the autumn weather. l Prune climbing/rambling roses once they’ve finished flowering.

Planting l Later in the month plant

spring bedding such as wallflowers, primulas and violas for a colourful spring display. l Start planting new perennials as well as trees/shrubs/climbers. l Plant pot grown new trees whilst the soil is still warm and moist.

Gardening The Kitchen Garden

Vegetables l When you think you’ve harvested your last

potatoes, carefully dig over the veg bed, collect those that were still lurking under the surface, and then dig over ready to plant some green manures. l Bean and pea plants that have finished their harvest can be cut back, leaving the roots to be dug in to the soil to provide extra nitrogen for future crops. l Continue to feed tomato plants until all the fruits have finished growing and ripening. l Sow spring onions – these will be ready to eat before the frosts get going in most parts of the country. l Remove any crops that have finished leaving unneeded areas clear – weeding and tidying for the winter. l Sow Swiss chard, winter spinach, broad beans and hardy peas. l Keep watering winter squash and pumpkins if the weather is hot. This will prevent their growth from being checked. l Prepare a bed for autumn-planted shallots. Incorporate well-rotted compost into the area to improve fertility. If your ground is wet, a raised bed may be a better option. Plant the sets from the end of the month, with the tip just protruding from the soil. l Do a last outside sowing of radish. With the soil still warm and moist with dew, you should be eating these in four to five weeks.

Salad & Herbs l Direct sow a row of rocket. It seems late to still be

sowing seed, but salad rocket does not bat an eyelid at the cold or wet. l Sow all your autumn-winter picking salad leaves and herbs if not done in August. l Cut and hang herbs to dry for using in the kitchen over winter. l Sow coriander now and you may be harvesting until April or May next year. Sow in a row outside, or into a gutterpipe for planting out in a month’s time. l Long-season herbs, such as chives, lovage and sorrel, should all be cut to the ground. They will be up again in a couple of weeks with fresh leaves. Drench with slow-release, potash-rich liquid comfrey fertiliser to encourage strong regrowth. l If weather is dry, water well. Pot up less hardy herbs such as parsley, chives and French tarragon and bring inside into a sunny, frost free spot.

Gardening

May: Summer’s on its way

As bulbs fade and herbaceous borders grow in leaps and bounds, it is now clear that summer is approaching. Sowing and planting out bedding can begin, depending on weather variations, and you can take softwood cuttings. It’s also time to get back into the lawn mowing regime, as the lawn will be loving the warmer temperatures this month brings. Flowers Sowing and planting Plant out cannas and dahlias (such as Dahlia ‘David Howard’, right) when the danger of frost has passed. Tubs can be planted up with summer bedding in milder areas. In colder areas further north or at high altitudes, it is advised to wait until early June, or until all risk of frost has passed.

If you want to grow your own spring bedding for next year, many common choices (including wallflowers, pansies, and daisies, Bellis perennis) need to be sown between now and July in order to flower next spring, as they are biennials. Winter bedding plants can also be sown from now until July. Remove faded wallflowers and spring bedding from beds and containers, to make space for summer plantings.

Cutting back, pruning and dividing Divide clumps of herbaceous perennials that you want to propagate. Bamboos and clumps of bulbs or rhizomes can be divided in the same way. Cutting back clumps of spring-flowering perennials such as Pulmonaria and Doronicum can encourage a fresh flush of foliage. Divide Primula (primroses)

after flowering, planting them in a nursery bed until they are ready for planting out again in the autumn, for a display the following spring. Divide hostas as they come into growth. Spreading and trailing plants such as the annual Lobularia (sweet alyssum), and the perennials Alyssum and Aubrieta, can become tatty

Gardening and patchy. Trimming them back after flowering encourages fresh growth and new flowers. Lift and divide over crowded clumps of daffodils after they have flowered. Deadhead tulips and daffodils. Propagation Take softwood cuttings of tender perennials like Argyranthemum, Pelargonium and Fuchsia. They will provide new plants for display later this summer. Perennials that are showing new shoots from the crown can be propagated via basal stem cuttings. General maintenance Apply a liquid fertiliser to spring bulbs after they have flowered, to encourage good flowering next year, and help prevent daffodil blindness. Allow the foliage of daffodils and other springflowering bulbs to die down naturally. Lift clumps of forget-me-not once the display wanes, and before too many seeds are released. They can become invasive if left unchecked. Put supports in place for herbaceous plants before they are too tall, or for those - like peonies that produce heavy blooms. Harden off plants raised from seed and cuttings by leaving them outside for gradually increasing periods of time. Start with only the warmest part of the day, and build up to overnight exposure. Doing this for 10-14 days before planting them outdoors permanently (whenever the risk of frost has passed), will reduce any check to their growth while establishing in their final position. Thin out direct sowings of hardy annuals and vegetables such as radishes. This is best done in two or three stages at fortnightly intervals. Final spacing should be between 10-20cm (4-8in), using the upper limit for tall or spreading plants, and the lower limit for smaller plants. Prick out indoor sowings when they are large enough to handle without damage. Hoe borders to prevent annual and perennial weeds from spreading and seeding themselves. Sweet peas need training and tying in to their supports to encourage them to climb and make a good display.
